Tail Lift Pendant
NOTE
The swing hydraulic cylinders must be fully retracted before using the tail lift as a working
platform.
When traversing rough terrain, operate the LIFT UP switch on the tail lift pendant as necessary
to prevent the platform striking the ground.
3.2.1.10
On the tail lift pendant, operate the tail lift TILT UP or TILT DOWN switches to level the
tail lift platform.
3.2.1.11
Release the straps and remove the two crane stabilizer spreader pads and folding steps
from the tail lift platform. Position these items clear of the launch vehicle and any other
possible vehicle/trailer traffic.
3.2.1.12
On the tail lift pendant, operate the LIFT DOWN switch to lower the tail lift platform.
NOTE
This is a two-man job; one man holds the far bank support while the other man removes the
restraining strap.
3.2.1.13
Carefully remove the transportation securing straps from the far bank support. Take care
as the far bank support pivots about its attachment to the forward launch beam to a
vertical position as the securing strap is released.
